FIFTY-YEAR DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL GIRDER BRIDGES

Steel girder bridge construction has evolved from standard to customized design with curved girders, box girders, and combinations thereof becoming more common. Refined designs require increased man-hours to maintain quality assurance and the safety with efficiency necessary to offset additional costs. Erection procedures basically remain the same with the trend toward erection in longer and heavier sections. Procedures are illustrated by representative structures. /ASCE/
